The Oscar Wilde short story is a droll comedy about a ghosts frustrations in trying to scare a group of vulgar Americans who have taken over his haunted hall. However, this film version reads more as a variant on The Ghost Goes West (1936) than it ever does an adaptation of the Oscar Wilde story. Most notably, it has been updated into the then contemporary midst of WWII. Rather than a group of vulgar noveau riche Americans buying the hall it is now American GIs stationed in the castle during the War. There is a new subplot, one that has been stolen directly from The Ghost Goes West, about the hereditary Canterville cowardice and Simons ancestor needing to conduct a heroic deed (involving helping stop an about-to-explode Nazi bomb). About the only connection between the film and the story now is the name of the ghost and his relationship with the young girl. Although, like Oscar Wilde, the film also makes a good deal of play on British-American cultural differences with a good many jokes about clumsy GIs learning the delicate art of tea-drinking or the young Jessica perceiving all Americans as Cowboys and Indians. There is also a fine dance sequence in the middle of the film where the GIs introduce the jitterbug to the staid Brits.
It makes for an amiably enjoyable light knockabout comedy. There are some amusing scenes with the GIs turning the tables and scaring the ghost while wearing sheets and gas masks. The title role is played by the great character actor Charles Laughton, known for films like The Island of Lost Souls (1932), Mutiny on the Bounty (1935), The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1939). With rolypoly figure and in a set of fake whiskers that make him look like a Cheshire Cat, Laughton hams it up, plays broadly and, if nothing else, shows he is having a good time.
Other versions of The Canterville Ghost have been made in 1966, 1974, 1985, 1986, 1996, 1997 and 2001. All are made-for-tv movies. All of these also follow this films lead in making the film cozy and cuddly rather than returning to Oscar Wildes droll comedy of manners.

A California woman accused of murdering her son-in-law was videotaped during her police interview celebrating his death and showing no remorse.
Prosecutors showed jurors a videotape of Cynthia Cdebaca, 65, raising her arms in celebration of Geoward Eustaquio's death by shooting, the Daily Mail reported.
Cdebaca told police that she had planned on shooting Eustaquio for two weeks and that she bought a gun specifically for the purpose of killing him, KSWB reported.
"Did you check on him after you shot him?" asked detectives.
"I didn't care," answered Cdebaca. "I would do it again."
Cdebaca told detectives that she got into a fight with her son-in-law the morning of the shooting.
"I got dressed and he said, 'you can't go like that.' He told me you look ghetto," said Cdebaca during the video testimony.
She said she got angry when Eustaquio told her she wasn't invited to attend her granddaughter's spelling bee that day, and that she reached her breaking point after that argument.
She even recounted how she shot her son-in-law 10 times, even stopping to reload and shoot at him again after initially wounding him.
"I shot him 10 times, then he went inside the house and locked the door," said Cdebaca. That's when she said she shot through the door, entered the home, fired the final rounds and stood over him.
"Did you shoot till it was empty?" a detective was heard asking Cdebaca.
"Yes, until it was empty," said Cdebaca.
Cdebaca told investigators that she and her family suffered Eustaquio's abuse for 13 years.
"So mean to me, to all of them. Yes he is," said Cdebaca. "They were afraid of him, yes. So mean to my daughter. I told her 13 years ago, he's evil."
The video showed each member of Cdebaca's family hugging her and saying goodbye before she was taken to jail.
When Cdebaca asked her youngest granddaughter for a hug, the girl refused.
"No, you killed my dad," said the girl.

Elk Neck State Forest Trails is a 6.6 mile loop trail located near North East, Maryland and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for hiking and trail running and is accessible year-round.
trail running
no dogs
The more woodsy paths were barely kept up a lot of fallen trees. Sometimes you couldn't even tell if you were on the paths in the woods. I don't mind the out doors and bugs etc, but I've never been hiking on a path with so many damn spider webs haha.
We enjoyed our hike in the woods but we weren't sure we were on the correct trail to do a loop. We went out and back- overall 3 miles but it led us back to Irishtown road. The trails could have been marked better, but the overlook was beautiful. We definitely will be back to continue the trails here!
Was a great trail to take. Worth the 40 minutes it took (most of us) to get there. Went with a group of 7. there was parking at the building with white roof that you can see on google maps. We did this trail in the winter (january) so the thick foliage was gone, revealing a great trail. Half of the trail was gravel/dirt road, but still nice to see. Only other concern is that we saw at least 5 hunters on/around the trail this morning, so just plan for that a well. Some of the trailed seemed like it would be hard to find once all the foliage returns. Lastly, the park map doesn't show the last portion of the trail to return the parking lot, but there is an improved trail; so it was easy get back to our vehicles. Again, a great trail, glad we found it here.
Great hike didnt see anyone the entire time. About half of it was gravel road and the rest trails. The last part of the trail headed back to my car seemed much less traversed and had more downed trees with brush over the path. This loop is close to home will definitely be doing it again.
Nice and quiet, not many people were on the actual trails. The lighthouse and overlook of the bay is great too but definitely more crowded.
Was great
I hiked at Pete bond overlook and took the lighthouse trail down trough a nice wooded area. This area was nice and open with just some tall grass, which meant ticks, but and easy walk. I came down to a point where the mason Dixon trail crosses so I took that and that's an uncleared trail, but is well marked. That came out to the elk forest trail which took me back past a gun range and a steep hill back up to my truck. Awesome walk. Will do again. BC
We parked at the Ranger Station just off of Irishtown Rd and hiked a short leg of the Lighthouse Trail (which does not lead to the lighthouse in this area; the lighthouse is down at Elk Neck State Park at the south end of the peninsula) up to the scenic overlook at the end of the Pete Bond Trail. It was a great view of the North East RIver and Charlestown, and the trail was well marked and not difficult, even with three kids in tow. The entire trail here is all forest cover. North of the scenic overlook, the trail markers disappeared, so we turned around and hiked back. I will definitely be back to hike the longer trails, sans kids.
I've hiked these trails and hunted these woods for years. This area isn't used that much. It can be busy during hunting season. Trails aren't always taken care of. There is a gun range near the entrance to the forest.
I think the other reviews are confused. This is not the area where the light house is. This trail is located in between Irishtown Road and Old Elk Neck Road.
Loved walking the trail along the river. Trails are pretty fun. It was really easy to follow the trails because they were clearly signaled. It was also really easy to switch to other trails. Beautiful park!
Short hike to the lighthouse. View is incredible! Beautiful hike and well maintained.
Pretty cool trail(Clint Eastwood shot a movie on the banks of the Lighthouse trail). This is a great trail to see Deer, Hawk, and the joining of five rivers to the Chesapeake Bay. On weekends, you may climb the top of the lighthouse called Turkey Point Lighthouse as well.

Timberwolves Sale Delayed: Sale Of Wolves Held Up By Grizzlies' Ownership Issues – Details
- Updated: March 15, 2016
Minnesota Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor has tried a few times to unload the team he saved from moving to New Orleans once, and the latest attempt appears to be fizzling.
Steve Kaplan, who is a California venture capitalist that had planned to sell his Grizzlies stake to buy 30 percent of the Wolves with a path to eventually take over as controlling owner. But a dispute between Kaplan and Grizzlies owner Robert Pera over shares in the team led to a behind-the-scenes battle that took months to resolve.
It was recently settled after Kaplan threatened to initiate an arbitration procedure.
The resulting delay has put Kaplan's deal with Wolves owner Glen Taylor in jeopardy. Kaplan and an investor went to Minneapolis earlier this month to meet with Taylor to help salvage the process.
Pera has been distant from Memphis over the last year, and has excluded minority owners from any meaningful participation in team decision-making, which is his right as controlling owner.
Kaplan has been asking for close to $100 million for his 14 percent share — pegging the team's value at roughly $700 million.
The situation could drag on until October of 2017 as Kaplan and Pera have a deal in which he has the option to make a bid for controlling interest in the team at a price of their choosing. At that point Pera would have two options: buy out Kaplan and Straus at that named price, or sell his shares to them based on the same valuation.
The so-called "buy-sell" clause is merely an option, and it is unclear if Kaplan or Daniel Straus would ever actually trigger it.

Apocalypse whenever....
It's really going to be interesting. The American Christians deciding who they want this time. GWB, for all his faults and, God knows, they are on sufficiently public display to be quite noticeable, has by and large, soothed the lions of the Christian Right, who have turned to tougher meat. Pat Robertson, whom I have been looking at recently, is on record as suggesting that assassination of that Amalekite President of Argentina might be quite an idea, and, much as George Fox denounced the citizenry of Lichfield, has suggested Divine retribution will surely fall on a small town called Dover for allowing the teaching of intelligent design in its schools. He and his '700 Club' TV show seem universally popular. H'm. But, what price next time? The Democrats must surely win the prayer battle. Hillary C is a Methodist, nice girl from Park Ridge, Illinois, sensibly flat-shod and balanced, so the idea of her leading the meeting isn't quite as remote a possibility as Rudy Giuliani inviting an altar call. Catholic guilt and freedom of worship are uneasy bedfellows. It remains to be seen whether the Bible belt will get behind the girl, or not. My guess is, they just might.

Feasibility study was completed November 27, 2014
Business plan was presented February 18, 2015
"Harvesting our local food potential through the collaboration of community and business"
Across Canada, consumers are increasingly seeking sustainable local food to help their local economies. To fill the consumer demand for local food, grocery retailers are looking for ways to increase local food products in their stores, restaurants are interested in sourcing local ingredients and the interest in farmers markets is growing.
'Parkland-Made' local food initiative will seek to build on the current diverse strengths in our communities by increasing the amount and diversity of local food products grown, processed and sold within our area of the Parkland and surrounding regions.
We are working to build and strengthen our economy by providing avenues for food producers and processors to access new retail opportunities throughout our region of the Parkland.
Our goal is for consumers to know where local food products are available. 'Know Your Farmer' and knowing where and how local foods are produced goes hand in hand with strengthening a network of local foods produced and sold.
Through recent consultations, PARC has received consistent strong support for a 'Parkland-made' local food initiative from farmers, producers, processors, restaurants, grocers, non-profit groups, consumers and others within Parkland.
PARC is continuing to seek input from community members so that we can develop a local food initiative that serves the needs of those who live, work or visit our region of the Parkland.
If you are interested in learning more, or would like to be included in a 'Know your Farmer' resource network, please contact us!
Online Surveys
Join a growing number of farmers, businesses, community groups and members working together as a region to remove barriers and make it easier for people to access a local food supply. Your participation in our on-line surveys will help us find ways to process what our communities produce to create jobs and support our regional economy. Your suggestions and input are welcomed by completing the following on-line surveys.Farmers, growers producers Youth Organizations or institutions Retailers Restaurants Consumers

The stylized and geometric motif for this hat band design required a stitch that would create striking blocks of colour ….and the SCOTCH STITCH worked perfectly!
It was designed and stitched exclusively for my 14th FREE VIVA ZIVA ! Newsletter #1314.
Subscribe now to ZIVA's free newsletter ... to be released in October, 2013 and stitch this very contemporary design "Scots' Scotch", inspired by the early 20th century Modernist Scottish designs of the Glasgow Four.
Around 1885, a group of four young Scottish architects and designers, through association with the Glasgow School of Art, formed a loose alliance that would stimulate a creative revolution across Europe.
They were known as the Glasgow Four,…..Charles Rennie Mackintosh, James Herbert MacNair and their wives, sisters Frances and Margaret MacDonald
Together they took elements from the Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau styles that were popular at the time and passed them through the filter of the Celtic Revival to produce something new.
Their bold move towards abstraction is all the more remarkable for occcurring more than a decade before the Cubist movement gained momentum.
Skilled in a variety of media such as watercolour, metalwork, embroidery and textiles, Margaret MacDonald Mackintosh challenged traditional Victorian chintzes and naturalist imagery with her stylized motifs and geometric patterns.
She also worked closely with husband Mackintosh on interior design. Together they created futuristic interiors which still work today.
With her textiles, MacDonald usually used a series of abstract patterns based on geometric shapes… triangles, grids, squares, and diamonds in vivid colours often set against a grey or black background.
These "Jazz Age" designs, several years before their time, must have looked stunning made into drapes or used as dress or upholstery materials.
With that in mind, I took one of Margaret Macdonald's rhythmic abstract designs (seen above in a range of browns and golds) and added the vivid colours she used on other textiles.
I incorporated today's popular hat colours, (white, black or straw colour), into the hat band motif and accented it with alternating bands of deep red and blue-turquoise…allowing a coordinated fashion effect to suit many hat styles and colours.
Other accents colours could be used to match your wardrobe.
If you like this bold design, have a look at other Mackintosh designs from ZIVA.
The Scotch Stitch, a traditional embroidery stitch, is worked similarly to continental stitch, working right to left, but is worked as a block of stitches featuring differing lengths.
As shown in the photo at left, a group of diagonal stitches is worked to form a small square. For the 'Scots' Scotch' hat band design, stitches were worked over 1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 2, and 1 threads.
The blocks can also be worked alternating the diagonals, called Reversed Scotch Stitch.
Frequently the pattern is worked in two contrasting colours. Also different scales, colour combinations and directions are possible.
By purposely incorporating today's popular hat colours in the design, the hat band also can work with other hat colours, such as the striking black hat above.
Note: This hat band has been stitched without the side medallion.
You could also just stitch the rectangular medallion and attach it at the side to a wide ribbon in a complementary colour.
This idea would work well with a man's hat.
Several options are possible! Add your own accent colours to match your wardrobe!
Or why not make up a camera or guitar strap! Or a belt!
This bold and modern pattern will appeal to all ages!
Full instructions and chart on how to create this 'Scots' Scotch' design, are included in the next VIVA ZIVA! Newsletter.

'Dumbstruck' stars put words in dummies' mouths
EmptyThey may put words in puppets' mouths, but ventriloquists are no dummies.
That's clear from writer-director Mark Goffman's doc "Dumbstruck," which follows five vents at various career points with insights into how they create personalities for their dummy buddies and market themselves as entertainers.
After world premiering recently at the Palm Springs International Film Festival, "Dumbstruck" is being shown to domestic distributors.
"One of the biggest challenges over the last two years has been watching the collapse of the independent film market," Goffman points out. "We've really tried to keep the film under wraps until we had it finished."
"Dumbstruck" is the feature directorial debut for Goffman, a TV writer whose credits include "The West Wing" and "Law and Order: SVU." It was produced by his wife, Lindsay Goffman, a development exec at FremantleMedia, which produces "American Idol" and "The Price is Right," with consulting producers David Sacks and Daniel Brunt and executive producer Elon Musk.
Goffman's starting point is the annual Vent Haven ConVENTion in Ft. Mitchell, Kentucky, known as the ventriloquism capital of the world. He zeroes in on five characters who could easily have stepped out of a Christopher Guest mockumentary.
Among the intertwined tales: Kim Yeager, a former beauty queen who hopes to start performing on cruise ships; Dan Horn, a successful cruise ship entertainer whose marriage collapses because he's away at sea for months; and Terry Fator, who after 22 years in obscurity wins the "America's Got Talent" competition and lands a $100 million Las Vegas deal.
It was Goffman's mother-in-law, a teacher who uses ventriloquism to work with her school kids, who got him started thinking about ventriloquists and told him about the convention.
"We had to go see it for ourselves. I like telling stories about people following their dreams and ambitions and it just seemed like a really fun project."
That was in 2007 when the Writers Guild was about to go on strike and Goffman knew he'd have plenty of time on his hands.
The Goffmans teamed up with DP George Reasner, who'd worked with Mark on short films, and took an HD camera to the convention.
Their goal was to make the film independently. "It was my wife and my first project together and we wanted to make something that just the two of us were really getting to shepherd," he told me. "So we went out and raised the money on our own."
They edited the convention footage into a trailer with help from Doug Blush, who edited the crossword puzzle doc "Wordplay," and Sven Pape, who'd previously worked with Mark on editing a James Cameron behind-the-scenes doc.
" We put together this trailer and used that to raise money," he explained. "One of the first people I went to was David Sacks, who produced 'Thank You for Smoking.' " Sacks helped as did the Goffmans' family and friends. More support came from executive producer Elon Musk, who was an exec producer on 'Smoking.'
They wound up with a budget of $500,000 and took two and a half years to make the movie.
"In documentary-making as opposed to script writing you have to let the stories unfold for themselves and people work at their own time."
For now, the name of the game is putting a distribution deal in place, which the Goffmans are doing through Jason Burns at UTA and sales agent Kevin Iwashina of IP Advisors.
Production posed all sorts of challenges, Goffman recalls, including a cruise ship director who was convinced they were shooting a porno movie.
"They allow video cameras on board, but they're very skeptical of anything that looks like a professional film. Apparently porns take advantage of cruise ships for low-budget shoots. And, as luck would have it, there was a porno guerrilla filmmaker on board rumored to be shooting in one of the cabins."
Moreover, aspiring cruise ship entertainer eager, he observes, is "a former Miss Ohio runner-up and very attractive. Her dummy Bertha is a rather voluptuous figure. The cruise director saw our camera equipment and assumed we were making a porno."
Goffman couldn't convince him that the film was really about ventriloquists. "He threatened to leave me in the Bahamas if I didn't turn off my camera."
Another unusual challenge involved sound recording for scenes with the dummies. They didn't need to be miked because, the vents speak for them.
"We had to tell one of the sound operators on an Ohio shoot to keep the boom mike on the person when the dummy spoke."
They wound up with an overwhelming 300 hours of footage and there wasn't enough time in the 85-minute film to include three of the eight characters they followed.
Some of the best extra footage will eventually surface as DVD bonus features. "We have tons of material on Terry that we really want to show -- like backstage on 'Letterman' and 'Oprah' and at his premiere party."

Facebook groups
Disease-specific Facebook Groups
The Leukaemia Foundation has developed a number of closed (members only) Facebook groups for people to share their personal experiences with their specific blood cancer or related disorder type.
Members introduce themselves, often summarising their diagnosis and treatment experiences, and sharing their feelings in this friendly, supportive environment. It is an ideal forum to express concerns, ask questions and offer tips and feedback on the one common theme – living with their particular blood cancer or related disorder.
Only other members of the group can read your posts – your other friends outside of the group can't see anything you have written there.
If you are living with a blood cancer or related disorder, or care for someone who is, you may like to join one of these networks for treatment/research updates, support, and other information.
Our current facebook groups are:
- Lymphoma: facebook.com/groups/LymphomaLFA
- Myeloma: facebook.com/groups/MyelomaAus
- CML: facebook.com/groups/CMLLFA
- ALL: facebook.com/groups/ALLLFA
- AML: facebook.com/groups/AMLLFA
- MDS: facebook.com/groups/MDSAus
- Amyloidosis: facebook.com/groups/AMYLFA
- Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinaemia: facebook.com/groups/WaldenstromsLF
We look forward to you joining us in these very interactive forums.Posted on January 4th, 2018

U.S. Air Force Gen. Paul Selva spoke on threats and capabilities of terror organizations during his confirmation hearing to be vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on Tuesday.
Selva stated that while they are an issue of importance, groups such as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and al-Qaida do not currently possess the necessary capabilities to pose an existential threat to the U.S.
Selva stated that if they chose to Russia, China, Iran and North Korea would be the countries that are able to cause harm to the U.S.
Selva, who was nominated for the Joint Chiefs position by the president, also clarified that despite the threat, those countries do not present a clear and present danger.
"In that order, you see the countries that are peer and near-peer competitors who are developing conventional and nuclear weapons that match our own," he said. "You see opaque governments that have ideologies that we don't agree with, and you see the broad base of terrorist threats that might threaten our interests abroad, our interests abroad and our homeland."
During the hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee, Selva expressed concerns on a potential sequestration and spending caps that are set to take place on Oct. 1 if Congress does not enact changes to budget law. He stated that sequestration could harm readiness efforts of the armed forces, training operations, and efforts to maintain and upgrade necessary tools and equipment.

Amnesty's stunning gun haul
SIX semi-automatic rifles, a handgun and a crossbow were among 50 firearms and weapons handed in to Warwick police during the National Gun Amnesty.
In addition to the 50 handed in for destruction, two firearms were brought in for safekeeping while the owners organised licences.
A Warwick police spokesman said it was good to get those sorts of weapons out of the community.
More than 150 guns were also either registered or handed in to Warwick Outdoor & Sports as part of the National Gun Amnesty, which concluded at the end of September.
Warwick Outdoor & Sports co-owner John Bacon said there was a good response from Warwick residents during the amnesty period.
"A lot of those guns were ones they've had for a while which were lying around the house or in the back shed," Mr Bacon said.
"Other guns brought into us included those they thought were registered, and were put onto their licence.
"With the licence change a number of years ago, a few people weren't aware the guns weren't registered."
Mr Bacon said some of the guns handed in would be able to be re-sold, while some were a bit older and more worn.
Among those handed in to the store were pistols from the 1800s.

Tangle Teezer Comes to Canada
When the World's Best Selling Hair Brush expanded to Canada, Charming Media was assigned agency of record to help boost sales at key account chain, Sephora.
Charming Media successfully introduced Tangle Teezer to the Canadian market through a strategic media outreach campaign that combined product placement, desk sides, and influencer outreach. Within a few short months, Tangle Teezer experienced coverage in the most desired Canadian magazines (Chatelaine, Fashion, ELLE Canada, Flare, Faze) as well as enjoyed millions of social media impressions via the online, unpaid social media sharing of Canada's key beauty influencers.
When company founder, Shawn Pulfrey visited Canada, Charming Media hosted an on-brand media event as well as secured prime television placement for him, with a demonstrative segment on Canada's most watched daily lifestyle television show, Cityline.
As a result of Charming Media's continued PR efforts, Sephora continues to re-order and sell through Tangle Teezer product and the brand has launched in a range of high-end salons and big box stores such as Hudson's Bay and Urban Outfitters in Canada.

ask and ye shall receive.
perhaps you need to rethink your reaction to using "those three words." is expressing your love verbally going to diminish you in any way? do you feel that you're losing something, like privacy or independence? (well, clearly independence is what you're thinking.) you say that a relationship is, and i quote, "two strong people, sharing and cooperating on important issues, meeting many [of] each other's… wants and needs." what i notice in sentence are the words "many" and "strong." do you think there's no one out there who can satisfy ALL (or the vast, huge majority) your wants and needs? are you are holding something back from the person you're with, in the hope that someone better will appear? are people you see as dependent necessarily weak and to be despised? is this why you don't want to appear this way (to yourself)?
of additional interest to me is your similar discomfort expressing love to your family. if you don't tell them now, then when? not to wax sappy, but this life is too soon over, and terribly unexpected. don't delay, you may not have another chance.
MoSO, as i'll call him, is very necessary to me, and vice versa. co-dependence could well be our new last name. our relationship didn't start out this way, it has been a continual process of discovering wants needs (on both sides of the equation) and striving to satisfy these because we like each other quite a bit. perhaps a relationship becomes stable (and, perhaps by definition, dependent) when you reach a critical mass of needs satisfied. all i know is, i wouldn't change a thing, even though i would be devastated to lose him.
Tue Dec 28 11:17:01 2004
Honestly, I think the word "co-dependence" has been blown up out of context in our culture, as it happily does so with catch phrases. Or maybe I have the wrong impression of the word. Anyway, as far as my impression, "co-dependence" essentially means that one side of the relationship essentially enables the other side to continue in some kind of unhealthy habit, such as drug use, alcoholism, violent relationship, etc. etc. Essentially, the co-dependent side of the relationship won't leave the relationship, even if they're getting completely and utterly shat upon to the point that any reasonable person with a sense of mind would get out of that relationship ASAP. From what I've seen, Kirk, at least with Mo, any girl you with whom you would start a relationship would have the confidence and sense of mind to either kick your ass into shape or get the hell out of a relationship with you, so honestly, I don't really think you have to worry about co-dependence issues, unless you hooked up with someone with unhealthy habits. Then again. . .I don't really see you getting these kinds of unhealthy habits, unless you've gone through some huge, traumatic life change, the kind that a cult would use to their advantage and put you into a co-dependent situation there.
But just other thoughts: Michi and I never say that we can't live without each other. We just say something like "You add to my happiness an infinity-fold." The moment that one or the other would become completely dependent on the other for a healthy state of mind, we would have to re-think out relationship. Honestly, though, I can't see myself living life without, even on the practical side of things. I could do it, but I wouldn't want to do it. Every once in awhile, I imagine what would happen if she were to pass away or we broke up, and I can't really imagine my reaction. I honestly don't think I'd go into huge amounts of emotions, or at least not in some immediate right then fashion. Nonetheless, I have a lot of feeling for this girl and want her with me. I have no problem saying "I love you" to her because I guess I don't think of it as giving up something of myself that I don't want her to have. Besides, any girl that accepts me for the strange sounds I make while walking through the house or not really doing anything, that's got to mean a lot.
I guess, in the long run, I don't mind humbling myself to her with a lot of things, even though I expect a good deal from her, too, and I will tell her so. Nonetheless, it's a rocky road. . ..
Hope this helps, even though I don't really have a main point. I guess it really comes down to what you're willing to give up to someonw, how much you're willing to expose, etc. etc.
I've had thoughts in the past of why give this kind of attention and so forth to just one person. . .even though it is a lot easier than trying to maintain strong intimate relations with more than one person!

"do you think there's no one out there who can satisfy ALL (or the vast, huge majority) your wants and needs?"
I guess I'd say no...I don't think it's reasonable or even fun to want everything covered by one person, or why else have outside friends?
"are you are holding something back from the person you're with, in the hope that someone better will appear?"
I might be guilty of this.
" are people you see as dependent necessarily weak and to be despised?"
Well, frankly I have a hard time judging if other people are really dependent or not.
Maybe I think of dependency in oversimplified terms; humans are astoundingly resilient, and life always goes on, so "dependency" MUST be a relative thing, scaled to how messed up things would be if you lost the thing you're dependent on.
My Aunt and to a lesser extent mom are always sure to end phone conversations with "love you" just on the "you never know when might be the last time" angle.
Tue Dec 28 12:23:40 2004
a daunting thing to face.
ALL I know from personal experience (and a nearly 24-year relationship/marriage) is that models and paradigms go out the window by necessity. NOTHING in a lasting relationship can be immutable, save the commitment to stay in it. Or perhaps more accurately, it's a deep-seated stubbornness that refuses to give up and give in. I could write a few thousand words on this... but how could I possibly make it useful? Each relationship is a new and vital (and unique) entity.
In the end, I find so many things in my relationship with my wife that fit the dependent/co-dependent model that it isn't even funny. I suppose that any relationship is doomed to the inherent imperfections of the two who are in it, for there are, and always will be inequalities to contend with, feelings to overcome, needs to be met, and those that will go unmet... ugh. I don't know if I've made anything other than a hash out of this incoherent rambling, but I think I have touched on my major findings in the last couple of decades.
Tue Dec 28 16:15:16 2004
Co-dependence develops between two people because love and trust. You depend on your partner because you can, not because you have to. Love and trust have brought you to a point where you can make each others life easier, not make their or your life possible.
Co-ependence is a benefit not a burden, man. Christ , stop rationalizing away all the good stuff.

I am sooooo dependent on your love and your mom's and your UB's. Would I die if for some reason you stopped loving me. No. Would I grieve the loss of that love and be less because of it? Absolutely. For me, the key is trusting you enought to be vulnerable and "needful" of your love. Trusting you enough that you would never intentionally betray that. Unintentional betrayal of that trust (read: death) sucks. Intentional betrayal (read: Mo, Mel, whoever - we all have one) sucks worse. BUT, if that intentional or unitentional betrayal changes ME so that I refuse or kill that ability to be vulnerable again - who loses?

Supercar Driver and Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice have steered their way to an incredible £75,000 fundraising milestone.
Giving people a chance to sit inside some of the world's most exclusive cars is just one way the UK's leading supercar members' club has supported us.
Since it chose Bluebell Wood as its official charity partner in 2011, Supercar Driver has held a series of eye-catching events. These include the popular Supercar Experience at Meadowhall, 'secret meets' of supercar owners and visits to the hospice in North Anston.
Turbocharged fundraising last year saw the amount brought in by Supercar Driver jump from £37,673 at the end of 2016 to the current £75,000 landmark.
Giving Bluebell Wood children and families the chance to sit in the driving seat of some of the world's rarest cars has been a big highlight of the partnership.
Adam Thorby, Director at Supercar Driver, said: "It has been great to put the cars to fantastic use and raise so much for Bluebell Wood. However, for many of us, involving Bluebell Wood families has been a real highlight. Earlier this year 21 owners brought their supercars to the hospice, giving 25 children the chance to sit in the driving seat of Ferraris, Lamborghinis and other cars. Seeing the look on the faces of the children and their parents when they sit in the cars and rev the engines is just one of the fantastic memories we're very glad to have helped create.
"We were over the moon at the end of 2016 to find out we raised £37,673 from 2011-2016. To almost double that figure in 2017 is something we are super proud of. We now have a £100,000 fundraising target firmly in our sights. We're proud to support Bluebell Wood and use our events to help families facing the toughest of times."
Supercar Driver has held two Supercar Experiences at Meadowhall shopping centre so far. Between them the two events have raised around £30,000 for Bluebell Wood, and given thousands of people the opportunity to have a ride or have their photo taken with a Supercar.
Funds have also been boosted at Supercar Driver members' own events, where car owners donated to the charity at a 'secret meet' of 200 of the world's rarest Supercars at Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground, and at a special invitation-only Supercar Event at the home of the Red Arrows at RAF Scampton.
Julie Hampson, Corporate Fundraiser, Bluebell Wood: "We are so grateful to Supercar Driver and all their members for their amazing commitment to Bluebell Wood. Not only does this partnership raise valuable sums for families facing the toughest of times, but also gives our children and young adults experiences they can treasure.
"It costs over £4 million for Bluebell Wood to keep its doors open every year, so that we can help our families make special memories together. We rely on the generosity of supporters, and on partnerships with incredible individuals and organisations like Supercar Driver, to be able to keep doing this."

Race-day: Saturday July 14th, 2018
- 4:40 a.m. – Mandatory pre-race briefing for racers
- 5:00 a.m. – Start at Twin Bears Camp
- 6:30 p.m. – Cut-off time: racers must depart Angel Rocks Trailhead *
- 5:30 p.m. – Begin Post-race BBQ and awards presentation at Chena Hot Springs Resort
- 9:00 p.m. – Anticipated finish time for final racer
*all racers departing the Angel Rocks Trailhead by 6:30 p.m. will be allowed to finish the race.
Participant Briefing
A brief mandatory pre-race meeting will be held for racers 20 minutes prior to the 5 a.m. race start at the Twin Bears Camp located at Mile 30 Chena Hot Springs Rd. Participants will be familiarized with the race course, the hazards on the course, race rules and cutoff time, recreation area rules and trail etiquette, the safety plan, and any other details necessary for a safe and successful event.
Cut-off Time
Racers must depart Angel Rocks Trailhead by 6:30 p.m. race day. This allows for approximately 19 minute per mile average pace (over an 8 hour marathon pace) for racers. All racers departing the Angel Rocks Trailhead by 6:30 p.m. race day will be allowed to finish.
Race Rules
- No short cuts.
- No littering.
- Adhere to the qualifying race and gear requirements.
- Be courteous to all volunteers, racers, and others recreating in the area.
- Have fun.
Qualifying Race
The Angel Creek 50 Miler is a difficult course that may challenge even the most experienced ultra runner. For this reason racers must have completed any foot race of marathon distance or longer within the past two years prior to registering for the race. It is highly recommended, though not a requirement, that racers have completed a trail run of at least half-marathon distance or longer within the past two years.
Required Gear
Racers are required to carry gear necessary for a safe and successful race. Runners must have with them at all times throughout the race the required items listed below. Please note that this is a minimum requirement and not at all a recommendation. Racers should equipment themselves based on their personal experience level and weather conditions the day of the race with the gear they believe will be necessary to be self sufficient while on the course. The required gear is listed below:
- A water bottle or hydration bladder that can hold at least 16 ounces and
- A wind breaker or rain jacket.
Wildlife Safety
Moose, Black Bear, and Grizzly Bears are found throughout Interior Alaska including the Chena River Recreation Area. Please use caution while traveling through areas with thick brush and vegetation where visibility is limited and wildlife may be surprised by your presence. Make noise while traveling through these areas and travel in groups if possible. If moose are encountered back away slowly and provide a path for the moose to escape. Moose are known for erratic behavior if they feel cornered or trapped. If a black bear or grizzly bear is encountered do not run away. Stand your ground and talk calmly to the bear. While carrying bear spray is recommended, it is not required. If you do decide to carry bear spray please be safe and familiarize yourself with its operation. Please report any bear or moose sightings or encounters to race volunteers.
Pacers and Crew
Due to the remote nature of the course support crews will only be allowed within a 100 yards of the Angel Rocks Trailhead and pacers will only be allowed to park at the Angel Rocks Trailhead and Chena Hot Springs Resort. From Angel Rocks Trailhead pacers may wait for their runner or travel in the opposite direction from the checkpoint to meet their racer. Pacers may travel as far back as the Upper Angel Creek Cabin to meet their racer. Pacers may also park at Chena Hot Springs Resort and travel in the opposite direction on the course to meet their racer. Up to two pacers per racer will be allowed. Pacers are not allowed on bikes, ATV's, or any other mechanized or motorized vehicle.
Drop Bags
Drops bags will be available to racers at three locations: Upper Angel Creek Cabin (race mile 30), Angel Rocks Trailhead (race mile 42), and the finish line at Chena Hot Springs Resort (race mile 50). Please bring drop bags to the start line clearly marked with your full name and checkpoint destination.
Shuttle Service
A shuttle service provided by the race will transport racers from Chena Hot Springs Resort to the Twin Bears Camp (race start) the evening before the race and the morning of the race. Shuttle buses or vans will be departing Chena Hot Springs Resort at approximately 6:30pm the day before the race and 3:45am the day of the race. Spectators and support crews for racers are encouraged to park at the Angel Rocks Trailhead and/or Chena Hot Springs Resort. There is a $5 daily Alaska State Parks and Recreation parking fee at Angel Rocks Trailhead.
Campsites and cabins will be available at Twin Bears Camp on a first come basis. There are 13 rustic frame cabins and plenty of tent camping spaces. Racers as well as pacers, support crews, spectators, etc. are all welcome. Outhouses and a bathhouse will be available. New this year there are no fees for staying at Twin Bears Camp! We only have the camp reserved for Friday evening through mid-day Saturday so other accommodations will need to be made for Saturday night. Pacers, supports crews, spectators, etc. joining us will need to depart Twin Bears Camp by 10am the day of the race.
Chena Hot Springs Resort also has rooms and campsites available. Contact the Hot Springs for more details (907) 451-8104. Road accessible cabins are also available for rent online through in the Chena River State Recreation Area http://dnr.alaska.gov/parks/cabins/north. Campsites at multiple camp grounds along Chena Hot Springs Rd. are available for a small fee and free tent camping is always available on gravel bars along the Chena River.
Post-Race Party
A post-race party and BBQ will immediately follow the race starting around 5:30pm near the finish line at Chena Hot Springs Resort. We hope all racers, volunteers, family and friends will attend! Please head to the Hot Springs after the race for a soak and BBQ.
Trail Markers
The race course will be marked primarily by bright flagging. Pin flags of an identical bright color will also be used. In areas where the course is above tree line wooden lath with directional arrows will be used. Flagging and signs will be placed at trail junctions to guide racers in the right direction.

Frequently asked questions. Just in case.
We thought we'd pre-empt a few questions that you might have. So take a look and if you can't find the answer you're looking for, fill in the form below and we'll get back to you as soon as.
Will Squirrel Money lend to me?
We're not the right lender for everyone. Our focus is on high quality creditworthy borrowers earning an income of at least $25,000 per year (you also can't be earning the majority of your income from Government benefits). If you're not good with money and have poor account conduct or a poor credit file, then we are unlikely to lend to you.
Can I repay my loan early?
Yes. You can repay your loan as quickly as you like and at no additional cost.
How much money can I borrow?
We provide unsecured personal loans from $3,000 to a maximum of $29,999. We also offer secured personal loans between $30,000 and $70,000 when fully covered by property or motor vehicle.
How much does it cost to borrow?
Our up front establishment fee is $250 flat rate for loans under $30,000 and $500 for loans $30,000 and above.
How long can I borrow for?
The minimum loan term is 2 years and the longest is 5 years but once you have a loan you can pay it back as quickly as you like at no additional cost.
What happens if I miss a payment?
If you miss a payment we'll follow up with you to find out what's up and give you 5 day's grace to get the account back in order. Should your account remain out of limit after this period you will be charged a $25 default fee per month and begin accruing penalty interest on your loan account at 5.0% p.a. above your normal interest rate.
Who can invest with Squirrel Money?
We only allow NZ tax residents over 18 years of age to invest through our platform. Keeping it to NZ tax residents avoids complications with non-resident withholding tax.
How much interest can I expect to receive?
Our current market interest rates are displayed on our Investor page. Investors choose a minimum interest rate they are willing to accept on their investment between a range of 7% and 9% p.a. depending on the investment term. The interest rate you choose in the platform is the interest rate you will receive, before RWT (Resident's Withholding Tax) is deducted. When funding a loan, we use the lowest available investor rates in the platform first to ensure we can offer the most competitive interest rates and continue to attract high quality borrowers.
Is there a fee for investing?
When you place an investment order, the rate you bid into the platform is the minimum rate of return that you will receive on that investment. The only deductions from your investment return from that point will be for resident withholding tax on the interest you are credited with once your investment order is matched to an approved borrower. For a breakdown of our fees, check out our Fees page.
Can I get my funds out early?
Our Secondary Market allows an Investor to sell an investment at any time provided there is another Investor willing to match the original terms of their investment (amount, term and interest rate). The option to sell your investment can be found at the bottom of the 'Investments' tab on your investor dashboard. We deduct a fee of 1% (up to a maximum of $50) from your investment balance when it is sold through the Secondary Market. Read more about the Secondary Market in our Secondary Market Policy.
Why am I receiving more interest than I expected?
If there are multiple Investors funding one loan, the interest rate received will be at the highest requested rate of all the Investors funding that loan. Therefore, it's possible to receive a higher interest rate than you originally requested. For example, three investors contribute $20,000 each to fund a $60,000 loan. Two Investors requested an interest rate of at least 8% while one had requested a rate of at least 9%. Under this scenario, all three Investors will receive an interest rate of 9% on their investment.
Is my return taxed?
We will deduct RWT from your interest payments. This is paid to IRD and we will issue you with an IR15 certificate that you can use for your tax return. You can expect this by 20th May following the tax year-end.
What happens if a Borrower misses a payment?
For the Investor, the Reserve Fund we have put in place is there to provide Investors some protection from missed Borrower repayments. When the Borrower catches up with repayments, any extra payment will be paid to the Reserve Fund until the arrears are cleared. Borrowers are actively managed when they go into arrears on a loan. We'll contact them initially to find out what's happening and put a repayment plan in place if required. If we're unsuccessful, then after one month it is passed to an external debt collection agency. For more information about how we assess the risk of our Borrowers defaulting, read our Investor Booklet.
What is the market rate?
The market interest rate is the average rate Investors have received on recently funded loans.
Is investing through Squirrel Money guaranteed?
Investing through Squirrel Money is not guaranteed. We have however attempted to mitigate the risk to Investors as much as we can by putting in a Reserve Fund, cyber and fraud insurance, as well as employing strict lending criteria. In the unlikely event you were to suffer losses these should be minimised by these risk mitigants. For more details about the protection offered by the Reserve Fund, please refer to our Investor Booklet.
How likely is it that the Reserve Fund runs out?
The expected loss rate on our loan book typically ranges between 1.1% and 1.2%. This expected loss assumption is consistent with historic NZ loss rates on higher quality loan books and was validated by external sources during the development of our credit model. The reserve levy that is collected from each Borrower repayment is intended to exceed the expected credit loss on the loan book and ensure the Reserve Fund grows over time. We regularly review our reserve levy rates in the context of loan book performance and the Reserve Fund balance to ensure we are collecting sufficient reserves to offset future credit losses.
If the event that the Reserve Fund was to run down over time, we maintain the ability to divert part or all of Investor interest payments (not capital) into the Reserve Fund to cover credit losses. This effectively means losses are socialised across all Investors in the platform and helps protect the capital of all Investors. Read more about this on page 8 of our Investor Booklet.
How safe is my money?
Investor funds are kept in an Independent Trust and do not form part of Squirrel's business or assets. We rigorously check our Borrowers to ensure they're creditworthy. We have Loan Shield to cover expected credit losses and insurance to protect against acts of cyber crime and fraud. In a nutshell, we work hard to look after your money.
What is the minimum investment?
The minimum bid amount for an investment is $500. The maximum you can invest through our platform is $2million.
When I deposit funds into my account on Friday, why can I not invest them until after the weekend?
Squirrel Money receives bank transactions from ASB daily for the previous day so the system is always one day behind. Also we don't receive a bank feed on Sunday.
Why can't money be instantly invested in loans?
There are a couple of reasons why your investment order may not be instantly matched and invested in a loan.
* The platform attempts to match investment orders with loans at 30 minute intervals.
* A loan needs to be 100% funded before investment orders are allocated to a loan. Assuming a $10,000 loan requires funding and you have placed a $5,000 investment order, we would need the remaining $5,000 before your investment order can be matched (or alternatively after 48 hours when we typically step in and fund the remainder).
* There could already be sufficient investment orders in the platform at a lower interest rate. These investment orders would be used first to fund an awaiting loan and provide a borrower with most competitive interest rate.
What happens if Squirrel Money fails?
Investor funds and loans are held inside an Independent Trust. We have set aside sufficient funding by way of a bank bond issued to the Trust for the Trust to continue to administer the loans even if Squirrel was wound up. As part of our license we maintain a disaster recovery and termination plan. In the event that the Platform ceases operation, any balances remaining in the Reserve Fund following repayment of all outstanding Loans and otherwise at the end of any managed wind-up process, will be donated to the Starship Foundation or such other charity having similar charitable purposes selected by the Trustee or any other person primarily responsible for the winding-up of the Platform.

I've seen a recurring theme on this site that primary care physicians [and seemingly, some neurologists!] don't know about BFS and its accompanying symptoms. I know when I first went to my doctor, he just referred me to a neurologist without giving me any possible diagnosis. Even when I went back to see him for my regular checkup later, he seemed not to have any real awareness of the condition. Consequently, I took the occasion to send him copies of Aaron's "BFS in a nutshell" article, along with the article by Dr. Lawrence Hill which had been published in the "Annals of Internal Medicine".
Maybe my doctor is unusual, but he seemed grateful to learn about something he didn't know about before, and I feel I may have helped some future patient of his shortcut some of the anxiety I went through before learning about this condition on this website. I would encourage all of you to copy this material and give it to your doctors. Of course, some of them will be "know it all" jackasses who don't seem interested, but then, that's their problem. Even some of these may learn something in spite of themselves.

The city of Bell bought a piece of land for more than double its assessed value as part of a highly unusual redevelopment deal that required the seller to donate $425,000 back to the city -- a sum that now cannot be accounted for, according to records and interviews.
The property houses a carwash. But in 2006, when the suspect transaction took place, then-City Administrator Robert Rizzo and former General Services Director Eric Eggena wanted the land as part of a revitalization effort in the city's small business district.
The sale price, $1.35 million -- more than double the appraised value of $612,000 -- put the land well beyond the reach of the carwash's operators, who under their lease had the first right to purchase the property.
FULL COVERAGE: High salaries stir outrage in Bell
As part of the deal, the seller was required to make a $425,000 "charitable contribution" to the city, ostensibly to support "the Boys & Girls Club or to build a park," according to the son of the seller and records reviewed by The Times. But five years after the transaction, city officials do not know what happened to that money, and neither does Bruce Elwood, whose father sold the land to Bell just before he died.
Despite the purchase, no redevelopment project occurred on the site, where the carwash still operates today, paying rent to the city.
The deal provides a window into the workings of the Bell Community Redevelopment Agency. The agency was criticized in a state audit last year for improperly using money for low-income housing to help subsidize oversized salaries of top city officials and operating without meaningful oversight.
Rizzo and seven other ousted officials have been charged by Los Angeles County prosecutors with corruption, mostly related to efforts to conceal their unusually high salaries. All have pleaded not guilty. Eggena was not charged, but prosecutors last month served search warrants at two homes where he has stayed.
Some business owners have alleged that Eggena and other city officials misused code enforcement to further the financial interests of Bell officials and the city -- and the carwash case offers new evidence of possibly improper activities. In the years before the sale, the city had accused the carwash of numerous building-code violations and closed the business for nearly a year, according to city records and interviews, which show that the city allowed the business to reopen only after the operators threatened to hire an attorney.
Experts who reviewed the land-purchase deal for The Times said it made little sense and was problematic in several key areas: The city paid much more than the site was worth. On top of that, there was no documentation to support the value of the "contribution" the city required as part of the deal.
"This is a real estate deal that ran amok," said Larry Kosmont, a Los Angeles real estate consultant and former city manager and director of community development for Burbank, Santa Monica and Bell Gardens. "Essentially they cooked the books on this."
Loyola Law professor Theodore Seto said the inflated price deprived the carwash owners of the right under their lease to receive the same deal as the city, which paid $925,000 for the property when the $425,000 donation is taken into account.
"It is clearly an attempt to misuse the power of the city," Seto said.
Albert Neesan and his son Eldon have operated Jack's Car Wash on bustling Atlantic Avenue since 1986. They leased the property from Jack Elwood. The site is on a prime stretch that Rizzo was intent on developing. Next door, the redevelopment agency brought in a Kentucky Fried Chicken. A Pizza Hut and a Starbucks opened nearby.
The Neesans' problems began in the summer of 2002, after a customer's car crashed into the waiting room of the carwash. City inspectors told the family to submit plans to fix the damage and other problems, including exposed electrical wiring, records show.
A month later, the family's attorney wrote Bell's director of building and planning, Dennis Tarango, complaining that the Neesans had submitted their paperwork but had not heard from the city. The letter noted that the family was losing customers because the waiting room had been closed by the city. "The delays are hurting their business," the lawyer wrote. "Time is of the essence!"
In an interview, Tarango said there had been no delays and that he had made himself available to help fix what he described as life-threatening code violations.
As the Neesans waited for an answer, the city explored purchasing the property. In a memo from the city attorney, Rizzo was told that the family had a long-term lease on the property and a "right of first refusal," which meant they were entitled to purchase the land at the same price and on the same conditions as a prospective buyer.
Records show that on March 30, 2004, Tarango and inspectors showed up at the carwash with an ultimatum: Tear down the waiting room or face imminent closure. The next morning, a code inspector shut down the business.
A month later, Tarango informed Neesan of additional code violations dating back to 1998 and said that inspectors had discovered health code problems.
Around the same time, Eldon Neesan said, Tarango made an offer on behalf of the city to buy the business for $125,000. The family rejected the offer, calling it "ridiculous" in a letter to the city, records show. Tarango said he never made an offer and was not aware at the time that the city was exploring whether to buy the property.
Around April 2004, the family hired civil engineer and architect John Ott, who concluded that the alleged violations were frivolous or could be easily resolved. "The more I got involved, I was horrified," Ott said in an interview. He said the city was trying to drive the Neesans out of business.
After Ott threatened to bring in an attorney, the family received a permit and reopened its business, he said. But the city pressed forward with plans to buy the property.
In May 2006, Eggena and former Bell Mayor Pete Werrlein went to Palm Desert to visit a gravely ill Jack Elwood, recalled the property owner's son, who was also at the meeting. The men gathered around Jack Elwood's bed while Eggena discussed terms, Bruce Elwood said.
Eggena said Elwood would receive a letter from the city crediting him with a tax-deductible donation, Bruce Elwood said. Eggena did not respond to requests for comment.
Records show that the $425,000 was held by an escrow agency and returned to the city. Jack Elwood died and the deed was signed over by his son, property records show. Bruce Elwood said he repeatedly requested that Eggena provide documentation and never claimed the donation for tax purposes.
"I was always suspicious of the city from the standpoint of 'What did you do with that money?' " Bruce Elwood said.

|Alterations in the inhibitory circuitry of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) in schizophrenia include reduced expression of the mRNA for somatostatin (SST), a neuropeptide present in a subpopulation of GABA neurons. However, neither the cellular substrate nor the causal mechanisms for decreased SST mRNA levels in schizophrenia are known. We used in situ hybridization to quantify the compartmental, laminar, and cellular levels of SST mRNA expression in the DLPFC of 23 pairs of schizophrenia and control subjects. We also explored potential causal mechanisms by utilizing similar methods to analyze SST mRNA expression in several animal models. The expression of SST mRNA was significantly decreased in layers 2 - superficial 6 of subjects with schizophrenia, but not in layer 1, deep 6 or the white matter. At the cellular level, both the density of cortical SST mRNA-positive neurons and the expression of SST mRNA per neuron were reduced in the subjects with schizophrenia. These alterations were not due to potential confounds and appeared to be a down-stream consequence of impaired neurotrophin signaling through the trkB receptor. For example, as shown in the figure, the expression of SST mRNA in the prefrontal cortex of mice declined in association with genetically-engineered reductions in trkB mRNA expression driven by the fB2 locus. These findings support the hypothesis that a marked reduction in SST mRNA expression in a subset of GABA neurons contributes to DLPFC dysfunction in schizophrenia.
